The standout trailer from the recent State of Play was undoubtedly the new Onimusha installment. Onimusha: Way of the Sword introduced its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, whose character model is strikingly based on the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. The trailer showcases Musashi’s fierce battles against demons erupting from hell into Kyoto, punctuated by moments of humorous evasion.
The story reveals Musashi's transformation into the wielder of the Oni Gauntlet through faith, thrusting him into a fight against monstrous beings inhabiting the mortal realm. He absorbs their souls to replenish health and unleash devastating special abilities.
A remastered trailer for Onimusha 2 was also shown, providing a stark visual contrast that powerfully demonstrates the remarkable advancements in graphics over the years.
